Understanding of the concept

of sequence and solving simple

equations.

M5AL-IIIF-6
 DRILL:
SKIP COUNTING
BY 5, BY 8, BY 10 AND BY
12
GUESS THE NEXT LETTER IN
THE SEQUENCE.

•O,O,T,T, F,F,S,S,E,
A NUMBER SEQUENCE IS LIST OF
NUMBER IN WHICH SUCCESSIVE
TERM FOLLOW A RULE OF
PATTERNS
e.g. 3,6,12,24,48-
is an example of a sequence
with a corresponding rule.
• 1, 3, 7, 15, 31, 63
•
• ASK : WHAT DO YOU THINK IS THE RULE/PATTERN USED TO FIND THE 2ND
TERM? 3RD ? 4TH? 5TH? 6TH?
• 1X2+1=3
• 3X2+1=7
• 7 X 2 + 1 = 15
• 15 X 2 + 1 = 31
• 31 X 2 + 1 = 63
• PATTERNS : ( X 2 + 1 ) OR
• ( +2, +4, +8, +16, +32 )
RULE #1: (+2,+3,+4,+5…..)
EX. 8, 10, 13, 17, 22
8+2=10
10+3=13
13+4=17
17+5=22
RULE #2: (MULTIPLY BY 2)
EX. 12,24, 48,_____,_____,
12X2=24
24X2=
13+4=17
17+5=22
 HOW DO WE FIND / FORMULATE THE RULES IN
FINDING THE NEXT TERM IN A SEQUENCE?
• DETERMINE THE ORDER OF NUMBERS IF IT IS ASCENDING OR
DESCENDING.
• FIND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE CONSECUTIVE TERMS.
• TO FIND THE RULE OF THE NEXT TERM, USE THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN TERMS.
• EXAMPLE:
A.SUPPLY THE NEXT THREE LETTERS, FIGURES, SYMBOLS OR
COMBINATION OF NUMBERS AND LETTERS IN THE FF.
PATTERNS. THEN WRITE THE RULE FOR FINDING THE NTH
TERM.
